    Patient Data Exhibits Which of the following findings should the nurse recognize as manifestations of digoxin toxicity? (Select all that apply.)

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Nausea and vomiting: Gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and anorexia are common early signs of digoxin toxicity and should be closely monitored. B. Fatigue and weakness: Generalized fatigue and muscle weakness can result from digoxin toxicity due to its effects on cardiac output and electrolyte imbalances, indicating early toxicity. C. Bradycardia: Digoxin increases vagal tone, which can lead to bradycardia. A heart rate below 60 bpm is a key warning sign of digoxin toxicity. D. Visual disturbances (e.g., yellow-green halos): Visual changes, including blurred vision, yellow-green halos, or altered color perception, are classic manifestations of digoxin toxicity and require prompt recognition. E. Hypertension: Hypertension is not typically associated with digoxin toxicity; digoxin more commonly causes bradyarrhythmias and hypotension rather than elevated blood pressure.
